Method for forming hard wear-resistant coatings

ABSTRACT

A hard wear-resistant coating for a metallic substrate which is achieved by preheating the substrate to a temperature in the range of from 350 DEG  C. to 1000 DEG  C. and depositing the coating material with the plasma or detonation-gun (D-gun) process while maintaining the substrate within the 350 DEG  to 1000 DEG  temperature range to form a fine dispersion of carbide particles in the coating.
